There
were several events in my life that led me on the path to founding ARMHER.
Key amongst these were having our home broken into, my daughter going off
to college, and after my dad’s passing, having an elderly
mother living alone. Anxiety can be debilitating or it can be the momentum
to take action and put our worries at ease. In my case these occurrences
triggered my search for safety and security devices that could protect
the ones I love. What I discovered was that most of the companies selling
security products targeted males; this seemed to be the wrong demographic
to me. After further research, including a course called the Citizen’s
Police Academy, ARMHER was born. We were able to locate many products that
could prevent personal attacks, accidents and crimes against women. When
put into use, many of these items are potentially lifesaving. Whether your
loved ones are Students, Moms, Seniors, or Active Woman, I hope that you
will give them the ultimate gift - the Gift of Protection.

Several
years ago I made the transition from the shelter and security of home to
college in New York City. Similar to most teens going off to school, no
one could convince me of the dangers facing young people on their own for
the first time. I wasn’t listening because like all
18 year olds, I was invincible. It wasn’t until one of my best friends
was attacked that I began taking the concept of personal safety seriously.
Fortunately, my friend was left physically unharmed; however the mental
anxiety is something she will live with the rest of her life. Suddenly
it hit home: the victim of this crime could just as easily have been me!
Around this time, my mom had embarked on her quest for safety and security
devices for family members and our home. Motivated by my friends assault,
I decided to get involved and help put together what I feel are the perfect
products for a college student or a young woman on her own for the first
time.

A 20-year veteran in the advertising and marketing arena, I joined the
ARMHER team in 2009 to help develop the company name, image and website.
I joined forces with Deborah because of her passion to put within everyone's
reach, the most effective defenses to protect women from crime. My personal
background made me aware how relevant ARMHER would be to all women and
to the people who love them: I was a student on my own since age 17; I
am active woman frequently traveling alone in Europe and North America;
I live in the 4th largest city in New England where my daughter has attended
public schools for over a decade. ARMHER is an idea whose time has come
in an increasingly dangerous world.

At present, I am the only male in the organization! Nevertheless, the
fact that I have a wife, a daughter and two granddaughters, makes me proud
to be a part of ARMHER- an organization dedicated to keeping the women
in our lives safe. While doing the right thing, I was able to greatly reduce
my personal anxieties surrounding my loved ones. Having served in a Military
Intelligence capacity in Viet Nam, I can say with certainty that knowing
your threats and preparing for them in advance, is always the best strategy.
From purely a financial perspective, I know that our Survival Kits are
the best investment you could possibly make for your safety. I am proud
to lend my many years of financial expertise and long-standing military
experience to the ARMHER organization.
